Are they gonna ditch the pantry car from Kerala Sampark Kranti Exp when they add those two economy coaches? Word from the railways is, they're shuffling things up from July 3rd, bringing in those new coaches. But no word on the pantry car tho.

Kya railways ne bol diya hai ki train ka new composition hai jisme do economy coaches add kiye gaye hain lekin pantry car nahi hai. Kya Kerala Sampark Kranti Exp se pantry car hata rahe hain?

Alright, so here's the deal - got back from MAO on train 12218 CDG KCVL KSK. It was hella late, like an hour plus! I was so ticked off at the controllers, man. Everyone's trains were announced except ours. I was chilling at PF 1, then bam - they said the Konkan Kanya would roll in there. What a mess! MAO MAQ VB was at PF 2, and Mangala showed up at 3. Still no sign of my train. After VB left, I thought maybe it's coming to 2, but nah - 22653 TVC NZM SF was supposed to show up. The announcements were terrible and I was going nuts. Finally, I just guessed 3, and yup, there it was at 3. Departed from MAO with a hardcore jolt, and that rocking motion stayed all journey long. Plus, there was a flat wheel driving me even more crazy. Managed to catch some Z's and made it to ERS around 8:30 this morning. Probably the rubber thingies on the coupler setup were shot. That might've messed up things in my coach. Oh, and here are some pics: 1. Sunrise @ Bharatapuzha river, 2. OG cab UBL WDG #12219 and WDG 4D #70506 rolling in with a BOXN rake.

The 12014 ASR-NDLS Shatabdi Express is leaving from Jalandhar City JN at a later time.
